Section B

Directions: In Section B, you will hear two

passages and one longer conversation, after each

passage or conversation, you will be asked

several questions, the passage and the

conversation will be read twice, but the

questions will be spoken only once. When you

hear a question, read the four possible answers

on your paper and decide which one is the best

answer to the question you have heard.

Questions 11 through 13 are based on the

following talk.

With a fascinating past and more than four

centuries of history, St. Augustine is one of the

nation's oldest cities and an American treasure.

Located on Florida’s Atlantic coast, it is home

to many fine examples of European architecture

and wild scenic views. In 1513, while looking

for the storied fountain of youth, an explorer

found this land and called it La Florida, and

claimed it for Spain, then in 1565, a Spanish

conquer established a settlement there and

named it St. Augustine, except for a twenty year

period of English rule. Florida remained under

Spanish rule until the United States took control

in 1821. In the years after its founding, the city

of St. Augustine was attacked by the French and

English and by native Americans, you are said

to have shot flaming arrows at the city's

defensive building, setting it on fire. More

recently, nature has stricken the region with

hurricanes, Matthew on 2016 and Irma in 2017.

Still. St Augustine endures.

As the region recovers, visitors shouldn't

overlook it. St. Augustine has suffered much in

its long history. Hopefully, visitors will come

and perhaps support the Florida’s coast recovery,

while discovering its centuries of history and

miles of coastal beauty.

Questions:

11. Which country first governed Florida in

history?

12. Which of the following statements is true of

Saint Augustine?

13. What is the passage mainly about?

P.S. La Florida--佛罗里达的西班牙语名词

Questions 14 through 16 are based on the

following talk.

Transport for London has a lost property office

which collects the items left behind as people

flow through the city's transport system each day.

It is the biggest lost property office in Europe,

beaten globally only by Tokyo's. Sixty five staff

sort through hundreds of thousands of lost and

forgotten items each at the office, which is run

by Paul Cowan.

According to the latest data, Cowan’s team

dealt with over three hundred thousand items in

the first quarter of the year. As the data reveals,

very few are claimed. For example, of the nearly

13,000 keys handed into lost property last year,

just under 1,400 were returned to their owners,

says Cowan. Overall, twenty percent of stock is

claimed within three month.

After that time, stock becomes the property of

transport for London. And it's not necessarily

the items you'd expect. A wander through the

three basement floors that make up the lost

property office gives us an idea of what we

value enough to recover and what we're happy

to let go. Cowan has discovered something

interesting about the complexity of lost

shoes. He said, if you have one shoe, you are

more likely to go looking for the other. If you

lose two shoes, well, it's slightly out of sight, out

of mind. He guesses many people regard loss as

an opportunity to treat themselves to something

new.

Questions:

14. What is the passage mainly about?

15. Which of the following is true of the lost

items?

16.According to Cowan, why don't some people

get their lost shoes back?

Questions 17 through 20 are based on the

following conversation.

W: I have a good feeling about this house.

M: If you like the outside, you're going to really

love the inside.

W: What a beautiful home! And I like the way

the window screen gives you privacy from the

street.

M: Follow me into the kitchen. You will love it.

W: Wow! They put a wine storage area in the

kitchen. I love it! The best part is the bedroom

and attached bathroom. I

love the relaxing colors of the wall and floor

covering. I'd like to make an offer on this house.

M: As your house agent, I'm here to take care of

this process. How much were you planning on

offering?

W: I really like the house and will pay the full

asking price of 380,000 dollars.

M:We’d better leave ourselves some bargaining

room. Let's offer 350,000 dollars.

W: That sounds good. But I don't want this

house to get away from me.

M: The market is fairly down right now. So the

offer is a realistic one.

W: When will we know if they’ll accept the

offer?

M: The owners usually respond to an offer

within a few days?

W: Should I be contacting my bank in the

meantime?

M:You're already pre-qualified for your loan. So

you're in good shape.

Questions:

17. What is the woman most probably doing?

18. What does the woman like best in the

kitchen?

19. What does the woman think of the man’s

offer on the house at first?

20. Which of the following is true according to

the passage?
